That’s about 500 lbs of Gala, McIntosh, and Golden Delicious!

At the apple press house – it’s like a country store on an old farm.

Rinsed and up they go.

Into the hopper above, chopped up, dropped into a cheese-cloth, layered out . . .

This particular press is an original 1883. But what powers it?

A 1952 Farmall Tractor outback with a very long belt.

Time to pprrreeeeesssss the pulp.

End product: 37 gallons of freshly squeezed apple cider – let the Fall begin.
